1.4: What are Perl 4, Perl 5, or Perl 6?
(contributed by brian d foy)
In short, Perl 4 is the past, Perl 5 is the present, and Perl 6 is the
future.
The number after perl (i.e. the 5 after Perl 5) is the major release of
the perl interpreter as well as the version of the language. Each major
version has significant differences that earlier versions cannot
support.
The current major release of Perl is Perl 5, and was released in 1994.
It can run scripts from the previous major release, Perl 4 (March 1991),
but has significant differences. It introduced the concept of
references, complex data structures, and modules. The Perl 5 interpreter
was a complete re-write of the previous perl sources.
Perl 6 is the next major version of Perl, but it's still in development
in both its syntax and design. The work started in 2002 and is still
ongoing. Many of the most interesting features have shown up in the
latest versions of Perl 5, and some Perl 5 modules allow you to use some
Perl 6 syntax in your programs. You can learn more about Perl 6 at
http://dev.perl.org/perl6/ .
See perlhist for a history of Perl revisions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They
are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up,
so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any
corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every
operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for
corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms.
Working code is greatly appreciated.
If you'd like to help maintain the perlfaq, see the details in
perlfaq.pod.

Install Perl 5.8.7 i386 for ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5.i386
Hi. I want to install ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5.i386.rpm which requires Perl 5.8.7. I found perl-5.8.7-4.i586.rpm with size 12 MB, and tried. It created /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi directory, but it didn't work. And I found perl-5.8.7-4.i386.rpm with size only 36K. This perl-5.8.7-4.i386.rpm needs several other packages. I installed all the dependent packages, but it won't create /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi which is required by ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5. Is there a BIG package called perl-5.8.7-?.i386.rpm ? Thank you for your he...

The number after perl (i.e. the 5 after Perl 5) is the major release of the perl interpreter as well as the version of the language. Each major version has significant differences that earlier versions cannot support. The current major release of Perl is Perl 5, and was released in 1994. It can run scripts from the previous major release, Perl 4 (March 1991), but has significant differences. It introduced the concept of references, complex data structures, and modules. The Perl 5 interpreter was a complete re-write of the previous perl sources. Perl 6 is the next major version of Perl, but it's still in development in both its syntax and design. The work started in 2002 and is still ongoing. Many of the most interesting features have shown up in the latest versions of Perl 5, and some Perl 5 modules allow you to use some Perl 6 syntax in your programs. You can learn more about Perl 6 a...

Install Perl 5.8.7 i386 for ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5.i386
Hi. I want to install ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5.i386.rpm which requires Perl 5.8.7. I found perl-5.8.7-4.i586.rpm with size 12 MB, and tried. It created /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi directory, but it didn't work. And I found perl-5.8.7-4.i386.rpm with size only 36K. This perl-5.8.7-4.i386.rpm needs several other packages. I installed all the dependent packages, but it won't create /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi which is required by ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5. Is there a BIG package called perl-5.8.7-?.i386.rpm ? Thank you for your he...
